Married to the Northwest, the soft-waisted wife was spoiled by the rough man

Chapter 125 Birthday Gift

He nodded repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, if you hadn't said anything, I would have forgotten about it a long time ago. Look at you, it's over so long ago, why are you still bringing it up?"

Li Hongying felt relieved to eat only after she saw that Qi Yan and Lin Peifeng didn't take the matter to heart.

After dinner, since Li Hongying and her friends had cooked the meal, Ji Sisi felt embarrassed to ask them to wash the dishes, so she took on the job of washing the dishes by herself.

Seeing the pile of plates, Lin Miao spontaneously joined the team washing dishes.

"I just saw Qi Yan sneaking around with Qi Yan again. It seemed like she wanted to discuss something with Qi Yan. Sisi, remember to persuade Qi Yan tonight and get him to tell her the truth."

Lin Miao was washing the dishes, but his mind was always elsewhere.

Before Ji Sisi could respond, Lin Miao thought of something else.

"Forget it. You two are both very busy people. You only have a little time to rest at night. So hurry up and do something serious."

Ji Sisi: “…”

Feelings of embarrassment and awkwardness surged up, and Ji Sisi felt a little helpless.

Lin Miao noticed Ji Sisi's expression, smiled and touched her shoulder to explain, "You don't know how many people have been asking me if you've made any progress since Guo Xiaolan got pregnant. Those people are really idle."

There were some even more outrageous things that Lin Miao didn't tell Ji Sisi for fear of hurting her good sister's feelings.

"You're so idle." Ji Sisi complained.

Feeling that Ji Sisi was in a bad mood, Lin Miao avoided the topic afterwards, fearing to add more pressure to her good sister.

-

After finishing their meal, Qi Yan and Lin Peifeng went back to the institute to work.

When she came back, it was already 9:30 in the evening. Ji Sisi was about to close the door, but just as she reached the gate, she ran into Qi Yan opening the door.

"I thought you wouldn't come back."

When Qi Yan saw her, the corners of his lips curved up in a doting smile.

"It seems that I came back just in time, and you came to pick me up. Does that count as a telepathic connection?"

After hearing his words, Ji Sisi's mouth corners rose involuntarily, and she turned and walked towards the house.

"You're dreaming. I'm just here to close the door. The hot water is ready. Go in and take a shower first, or the water will be cold later."

Qi Yan didn't dare to waste time and went back to the room to take a shower.

When the people came out of the shower, Ji Sisi was sitting on the sofa. It was obvious that she had been waiting for a long time and had something to ask.

Thinking of the information Lin Miao revealed during the day, Ji Si couldn't resist the torture of curiosity and decisively asked Qi Yan.

"Just now after dinner, I saw Qi Yan talking to you. What did you talk about?"

Qi Yan sat next to Ji Sisi, leaning on her shoulder, his brows full of fatigue, and said with his eyes closed.

"She asked me if she could stay at the institute for an internship for a while, and asked me to ask my dad to let her stay at the institute."

Ji Sisi's shoulders sank and she turned around to look. The man's eyes were dark and he looked much worse than a few days ago. She looked at him with distressed eyes.

"I didn't agree. I didn't bring her home. It's not my turn to interfere in the matter."

Ji Sisi nodded in agreement with his point of view.

"By the way, where is my birthday present?" Qi Yan suddenly looked up, sat up straight, and looked at Ji Sisi affectionately with smiling eyes.

Ji Sisi blinked and brainstormed.

She pushed Qi Yan aside and stood up. "I've prepared it early in the morning. It's in the room. Wait, I'll get it for you."

The moment she spoke, her mind was working rapidly, trying to think whether there were any products for men in the warehouse. Ji Sisi turned around and walked, thinking as she walked.

Before she could even think about it, her body was suddenly lifted into the air and someone grabbed her by the waist, causing her to scream in fright.

Ji Sisi subconsciously put her arms around Qi Yan's neck and suddenly stuttered, "Aren't you tired?"

"I won't feel tired just chatting with you."

Ji Sisi had a bad feeling in her heart. She had just gotten a night's rest with great difficulty.

"Put me down first, I'll go get you your birthday present."

Qi Yan carried the person and walked into the house, "You are my gift, I don't want anything else."

The moment the door closed, Ji Sisi had already guessed the outcome of the night.

-

After tossing and turning until midnight last night, Ji Sisi slept until eight o'clock. When she opened her eyes, the sun was already shining into the room.

Ji Sisi habitually touched the place beside her, but the person had already left.

My brain was still in a daze when there was a knock on the door, followed by Wu Gang's voice.

"Is Sister Ji at home? Your relative called you and said there was something urgent."

Ji Sisi's eyes, which had just been closed, suddenly opened wide, and she changed her clothes and rushed out.

She opened the door, "Comrade Wu, who called me?"

"The person you called last time called me early this morning and asked me to notify you immediately. She said she had something very important to discuss with you."

"Aunt Liu?"

"Correct."

Ji Si thought there must be some progress on Ji Nian's matter, so she went back to the house and washed up as quickly as possible. When she came out, Wu Gang had already returned to his duty.

In order to save time, she rode her bike to the guard room.

With the experience of making phone calls several times before, Ji Sisi no longer needed Wu Gang’s help and could easily get through to Jiang Hai.

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, and then with a beep, the call was connected.

Aunt Liu looked around and confirmed that no one was around. She covered the receiver tightly and asked, "Sisi?"

"It's me, Aunt Liu. You called me so urgently. Is there any progress on Ji Nian's matter?"

"Well, I heard that she hired a big lawyer from the capital, who seemed to be trying to exonerate her or something. Anyway, that man was incredible. He actually found out that it was me who submitted the materials to the police."

"Now that man blocks the door of our company every day. He stops me as soon as I get off work and says he wants to talk to me. He also says..."

Aunt Liu's speech became faster and faster, and her heartbeat quickened.

"They said they were going to sue both of us. What should we do, Sisi? We won't go to jail, will we?"

Aunt Liu has been honest and upright all her life. Ji Sisi guessed that this might be the boldest thing she has ever done. Now she is easily frightened by the slightest threat from others.

"Sue us? Did he say in what name or for what reason?"

Ji Sisi was puzzled. What basis did the lawyer have to sue her?

There was no signature on the materials sent over, but we are going to sue her based on a certificate issued by a research institute?

"I don't remember it clearly, but the man was very serious when he said it. He even showed me his ID. I don't think he was joking."

Ji Sisi could sense Aunt Liu's fear, and her voice was trembling.

"Aunt Liu, don't worry. I am sorry for you."

Ji Sisi tried her best to calm herself down. "How about this, I'll come back as soon as possible. If that man asks you out again during this period, remember everything he said. If you can't remember, write it down in a notebook and I'll come over to deal with it."

After getting Ji Sisi's answer, Aunt Liu held the phone tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Ji Sisi asked a few more questions, and Aunt Liu's answers were all very vague. It was not difficult to see that Aunt Liu was really scared.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Sisi stared at one spot in a daze.

Wu Gang lowered his ears and silently turned his eyes and head away.
